PERU WALKING ITINERARY
Trip Length: 8 days/7 nights
Start/Finish: Cuzco/Cuzco
Whether you call it the Lost City of the Incas or the City in
the Clouds, arriving at the ancient Incan site is sure to be
life-altering. You can’t help but be captivated by the mystique
of ruins belonging to a civilization that disappeared without a
trace. But perhaps even more moving is the sheer beauty of the
site itself – perched, invisible to the world, among the Andean
peaks some 2,000 feet above the Urubamba River.
The magic of Machu Picchu is something we think everyone should
experience in their lifetime. And we make sure you see it right
– not with the crowds, and not without time to reflect, quietly,
on the astronomical and architectural achievements of this
mysterious civilization. Trip Highlights:
- Explore the colourful markets of colonial Cuzco
- Stay in a 300-year-old monastery and eat at an authentic
hacienda
- Walk among salt terraces and mountain villages of the
Sacred Valley of the Incas
- Journey into the Andes aboard an Orient Express train
- Tour Machu Picchu with an expert local guide
- Stay within the ruins at the luxurious Sanctuary Lodge
Please book early for this trip to ensure your place on the
Inca Trail hike to Machu Picchu. We must purchase tickets and
often this must be done at 120 days prior to the trip departure
date. Don’t be disappointed.

Accommodations:
Monasterio del Cuzco, Cuzco
Situated in the heart of the city’s old district, this 16thC
monastery has been converted into a deluxe hotel, surrounded by
Inca walls and Spanish colonial architecture, with beautiful
inner courtyards. The Gregorian music, vaulted ceilings, and
roaring fireplace make the hotel lounge a particularly
enchanting setting for enjoying a cup of tea.
Sol y Luna, Urubamba
Sol y Luna blends Old World charm with the tranquility of the
Sacred Valley. Our hosts, Marie-Helene and Franz, have made Peru
their home since the early 1990s. The stylish bungalow-style
cottages on this intimate property are all thoughtfully
decorated with local ceramics and indigenous woods. The hotel is
surrounded by lovely gardens and features a fully equipped spa.
Sanctuary Lodge, Machu Picchu
The Machu Picchu Sanctuary Lodge embodies the three truths held
sacred by the ancient Incas: “Location, location, location.” But
besides being the only hotel in the lost city’s citadel, just a
three-minute walk from the main ruins, this exclusive retreat
also scores high on what B&R holds sacred: it’s been refurbished
by the Orient Express group; its services are unequalled in the
valley; and at 2,500 m (8,200 ft.), it has breathtaking
llama’s-eye views.
